"Regarding the secrets of the royal family, I happen to know a little," 'The World' said, manipulating his character at the lower end of the bronze table.
Leonard, 'The Star,' wasn't aware of this because it started when Klein began tracking Qonas. At this moment, he was still a bit puzzled: Why would Klein know the inside story?
"The royal family's secret involves excavating an ancient ruin," 'The World' said. "It seems there are some unspeakable arrangements within those ruins."
"This reminds me of the information I traded with Emperor Roselle earlier. I wonder if George III is preparing to become a god?"
Leonard almost stood up: "George… His Majesty the King wants to become a god?"
"Emperor" Hobert said, "That's right. According to the information we've obtained, he does indeed have such a plan."
Leonard frowned: "I remember there's an agreement between various countries and the Churches of the Seven Gods that the king can only advance to Sequence 5 at most. How could the Churches not notice His Majesty advancing from Sequence 5 to Sequence 1?"
"I don't know the specifics of how it's being done, but I've discovered that the King has a substitute," Hobert said. "Or perhaps a clone. But what's certain is that the King who frequently appears in public is not the real him."
"As for the advancement from Sequence 5 to Sequence 1, it seems a clever method was used. The specific details are still under investigation, and we are closely monitoring this matter."
Then he said to 'The World': "If there are any emergencies, we can inform each other and support each other."
This was also what Klein hoped for. He manipulated 'The World' to say: "No problem."
When this topic came to a close, Alger, 'The Hanged Man,' who was frequently at sea, brought up the second question that 'The Star' had mentioned earlier: "I've also heard news about electric lights. It's said they can emit light like daytime in the darkness?"
"Yes!" Leonard smiled. "Indeed, they are very bright."
He paused and then said: "Actually, I don't really like electric lights. They make the night less mysterious, but this seems to be the trend."
Hobert was slightly stunned: The poet actually said something quite poetic.
At this time, Cattleya, 'The Hermit,' also asked: "What is burned to produce the light?"
Then Audrey, 'Justice,' explained: "It's not burning anything, but using electricity."
After a slight pause, she glanced at Hobert, suddenly realizing: "I'm not very clear about the specific principles either."
"The general principle is that electricity can heat the metal filament, and the filament starts to glow after reaching a certain temperature," Hobert explained simply.
Cattleya nodded slightly. In fact, she still didn't quite understand how electricity heated the filament. She felt that she should visit the territory of 'The Creator' more often when she had time, as there seemed to be too many new things there.
Derrick, 'The Sun,' asked: "Emperor, where can we find electricity?"
Hobert explained: "It requires building large power plants. If City of Silver needs it, I can have someone modify a small generator."
"But if you want to generate electricity, you need to constantly burn coal or other fuels."
He reminded: "Unless City of Silver can mine coal, electric lighting is not very suitable for you, because it requires too much fuel, which is too extravagant for you."
"Is the coal you're talking about that black, but combustible stone?" Although there was Mr. Fool's translation, Little Sun still wanted to confirm.
City of Silver had its own coal mines, which were the main heating material.
The trees and grass around the city had been burned away more than two thousand years ago, so they had to find alternative fuels.
"If you have coal, that's easy," Hobert smiled. "I can modify a small coal-burning generator for you, but it can only meet the lighting needs of some areas."
He estimated for a moment and then said: "If you have a plaza, install a large light in the plaza, install a large light in the training ground, and then install some electric lights in the round tower where your 'Six-Member Council' is located, that should be no problem."
Klein smiled. Electric lights installed in the ancient City of Silver? It always felt a bit out of place.
Derrick still found it a bit incredible: "Emperor, can it really be as bright as daylight?"
City of Silver was too eager for daylight, even if it was just false daylight.
Hobert pinched his chin and thought for a while before saying: "This has been certified by the Eternal Blazing Sun Church. The light emitted by electric lights can even drive away relatively weak wraiths."
"Of course, it's still far from the sun."
Then he said seriously: "You must first report to your Chief, because I just thought that electric lights might make City of Silver very conspicuous in the 'Forsaken Forsaken Forsaken Land of the Gods,' and I don't know if it will attract some powerful monsters."
Derrick was stunned for a moment: "I understand. I will report to the Chief after the gathering."
Then he asked: "What reward do I need to pay for the electric light transaction?"
Hobert thought for a moment and then said: "All the essence of a Lord Tree."
This was one of the main ingredients for advancing to 'Earl of the Fallen.' Hobert had hunted six-legged goblins before in order to advance, but at that time he was trying to obtain the six-legged goblin's brain, because he had been trading for this auxiliary Ingredient for a long time without success.
As for the main ingredient, the "Complete Brain of a Six-Legged Goblin," it was still lying in the "Nation of Disorder" gathering dust, so Hobert was thinking about how to use it.
So he added: "Oh, right, please give me the entire Lord Tree, because I also need its spirituality materials."
Derrick said: "I will ask my companions to see if anyone knows the whereabouts of the Lord Tree."
In the minds of the others, images of electric lights installed in an ancient city appeared, the combination of the two making people feel a bit magical.
After a few seconds of silence in the hall, 'The World' suddenly reminded: "According to some news I've obtained, a war may break out in the Northern Continent recently."
He analyzed this from the current situation and the undercurrents of the extraordinary world.
Audrey also sighed: "The nobles have also been talking about this recently. It seems that war is inevitable."
Leonard was slightly stunned, feeling as if he didn't live in the Northern Continent. He was very strange why he hadn't received the corresponding news?
But he quickly realized that he had either been investigating cases or playing cards recently, and hadn't participated in social activities for a while, so he had no channels to obtain the corresponding information.
Emlyn was also a little surprised to hear this news. During this time, he had been taking care of his marionette and doing volunteer work at the Harvest Church.
Except for a few days ago when the Sanguine Marquis Nibbs suddenly called him to inquire about information about the 'Chained God,' he hadn't participated in the Sanguine's gatherings for a while.
So Emlyn asked: "Is it a war between Loen and the Feysac Empire or the Feynapotter Kingdom? Why would there be a war?"
These two countries were Loen's "traditional enemies."
"It may also be with the Intis Republic," Audrey said. "I heard that Loen and the Intis Republic have also had great conflicts recently."
Emlyn was a little strange: "Why has the Loen Kingdom become enemies with the other three great powers?"
In his impression, he clearly remembered that the relationship between the Loen Kingdom and the Intis Republic was still good.
"In the eyes of nobles and dignitaries, Loen monopolizes the East Balam and Rorsted Archipelago, and are both major powers that have experienced the Industrial Revolution, with very similar industries and conflicting interests," Hobert explained:
"As for the conflicts in the Beyonder world, we just talked about it. George III wants to become a god, which will greatly disrupt the balance of extraordinary power in the Northern Continent. Does everyone think the other three countries would be willing to see such a result?"
During the Backlund smog incident, Hobert had announced similar information, but it did not attract everyone's attention at the time.
Now everyone had a deep feeling about this news, and some members also recalled Mr. Fool's previous reminder: The era is changing because of this.
In a serious atmosphere, this Tarot Gathering ended.
The only member who had no worries about the war in the Northern Continent was Derrick. In the second half of the free exchange stage, his mind was full of electric lights, electric lights, and electric lights!
After returning to the real world, Derrick jumped out of bed and ran towards the round tower where the Six-Member Council was located, and soon met Chief Colin.
"Chief, I have something very important to report to you!" Derrick said straight to the point as soon as he came up.
Colin was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked another elder of the Council, as well as two subordinates, to leave the room.
"I have received an important message. There is now a method that can emit light similar to sunlight by burning coal!" At this time, Derrick was no longer as naive as before.
He knew the Chief would definitely value such news, but because of his special status, he wouldn't ask about the source. Therefore, he was very clear that he just needed to explain the matter of the electric light.
If it were in the past, he would have put a lot of effort into fabricating a reason, only to have it exposed by the Chief in a few words.
Colin indeed didn't ask about the source of the news, but was somewhat surprised: "There's such a thing?"
Then he asked, "What kind of reward is required?"
"An entire Lord Tree."
Colin pondered for a moment and then said, "Postpone the exploration mission for a few days. You gather a few members and come with me to hunt a Lord Tree!"
Derrick was also very happy with the Chief's decision, but he still reminded him dutifully, "Chief, if the light is too bright, will it attract some powerful monsters?"
"The probability is not high," Colin said. "Unless it can illuminate the entire Forsaken Land of the Gods,' there are no monsters within our exploration range that we can't handle."
Perhaps there is a slight risk, but the significance is also enormous!
Just imagine, if the patrol team outside the city could turn around and see a light source inside the city, it would be a huge encouragement to them.
Even if the exploration of the Giant King's Court fails and no exit is found, such a light source can give City of Silver the faith to persevere!
For Colin, such an opportunity should not be missed.
...
Backlund, 62 Empress Borough.
Hobert stared at the ceiling for a while, then stretched and got out of bed to carve the black iron needed for the demigod-level charm.
Just as he was about to finish carving, a scene appeared in Hobert's mind.
A tall young man, wearing simple clothing suitable for combat, prayed: "...Respected Mr. Fool, please tell Mr. Emperor that the Chief has agreed to the transaction, and we will set off tomorrow to hunt the Lord Tree."
Hobert pretended to praise the Fool, looking at the ugly charm he had carved: Fortunately, I am asking myself for power. If I asked other gods for power, they probably wouldn't pay attention to me at all.
He didn't immediately create the charm, but used 'Travel' to go to 'Earl's Light' and instructed Todd to modify a small generator.
The small power plant not far from the Empress Borough is still using small generators. The relevant departments of 'Earl's Light' are very experienced in this type of modification and can complete it in at most a week.
After dinner, Hobert prayed to himself again, completed a demigod-level charm, and sacrificed it along with a 'Order Wood' to Mr. Fool, asking him to complete the transaction with Mr. Star.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Hobert followed the plan and took Audrey out to carry out tonight's assassination.
This time, Hobert prepared an Sequence 8 level opponent for Audrey, allowing her to complete the assassination of this target alone.
Hobert was very clear that so-called combat experience is honed through repeated battles, and there is no shortcut at all.
This time, Audrey had a new understanding of her abilities, as well as the tactics Hobert had taught her before, and formulated an assassination plan.
She began to 'hypnotize' the target at the door, causing the target to ignore her, and then suddenly distorted the doorknob and pushed the door in.
The target noticed something was wrong, but only glanced at the door, seemingly not seeing Audrey who had opened the door and entered.
Audrey nervously entered the room and used the sealed artifact to create a 'Sword of Dawn' under the target's gaze, piercing the opponent's heart with one strike.
The target only struggled for a moment before dying.
Audrey calmly handled the scene. Because she didn't create too much noise this time and attract the attention of others, she had time to deal with the traces at the scene.
She used the potion provided by Hobert, which could corrode the corpse, to dispose of the body, and then picked up the Beyonder characteristic.
Because Hobert gave Audrey a 'Crystal of Order,' she didn't need to do the corresponding anti-divination processing.
After checking the entire room again, she confirmed that she had not left any clues before quietly leaving.
Hobert, who was two or three kilometers away from the scene, did not leave, but watched Audrey while also watching the scene for a while.
Two eyes seemed to appear in the darkness, glanced at it, and immediately disappeared into the darkness.
Hobert smiled slightly. This time, the Aurora Order's reaction was much faster than last time. However, those two eyes were more like bait. Hobert would not be fooled. He wanted to continue waiting to catch bigger fish.
He took Audrey back to the study of the Lord's Mansion, and Hobert once again helped Audrey review the battle before taking the somewhat excited Audrey back.
Tomorrow, Hobert plans to let Xio continue the assassination. By that time, he will definitely be able to catch some fish!
...
Tuesday afternoon, thanks to the autumn wind, the fog was blown away, and Backlund has had a lot of sunny weather recently.
Hobert invited Alice, Georgina, and Amyrius to afternoon tea today, actually to promote the teleportation array to them, because the Loen Kingdom will definitely need it in the early stages of the war.
Around two o'clock, Hobert personally stood at the door to welcome them and invited them to have tea on the terrace.
During the chat, Amyrius mentioned the telephone that the Ministry of Defense had just installed: "That is definitely something that can change the times!"
Amyrius said seriously: "Just imagine, being able to hear the voices of relatives or friends thousands of miles away will be of great significance to ordinary people!
"Sound cannot be replaced by telegrams or letters. In my opinion, words are cold and lifeless in many cases. Only sound is warm."
Georgina, who also had military experience, said: "That's right, sometimes the voices of loved ones are faith and strength!"
She also expressed her views: "More importantly, the telephone is not like Beyonder abilities. It can be mass-produced, which is its greatest advantage."
"Both of you have seen the future prospects of the telephone," Hobert smiled. "In my opinion, the telephone also has a use: to confirm whether relatives or friends are safe."
"For example, if a company has an employee who lives far away from home and sees a fire in the direction of their home, but it takes more than an hour to rush back from the company."
"At this time, if there is a telephone at home, they can call home. If someone answers, then it's fine. If no one answers, they should rush back immediately."
"For example, if there is a time-sensitive hot news story, the reporter can call their newspaper office and dictate the news content, while the other side takes shorthand notes. This will allow them to publish the news earlier than other newspapers."
"And if it's a telegram, you need to write the telegram first, send it, and then it needs to be translated on the other side."
"In short, it speeds up the dissemination of information and makes information dissemination more convenient."
Only Alice here had not been exposed to the telephone: "There is such a thing? You can also install a few in the palace to try."
At this time, everyone had drunk two cups of tea. Hobert said: "I invited the three of you here today because I hope to invite you to see something good. How about we go to 'Earl's Light' together?"
Amyrius and Georgina were both a little strange about Hobert's purpose in finding them. Alice was a little curious about what Hobert wanted to sell to the military.
The last time they met, Hobert had said that he wanted to do a business deal with the military, and Alice helped obtain the key intelligence.
The four people took a carriage and came to 'Earl's Light'.
However, it was not the office building of 'Earl's Light', but a large warehouse.
The door of the warehouse was half open. Hobert invited the three of them to enter.
Alice first saw that there were many building materials piled up in the warehouse. Through the passage formed by these building materials, she saw movers loading building materials into empty carriages, and the loaded carriages were pulled by horses to a not very high iron frame, and neatly arranged and fixed.
Hobert's appearance caused many people to come over to say hello, and then they returned to their posts.
Alice and the other two still didn't understand what Hobert was going to do, but they didn't ask any questions and stood silently behind Hobert with great understanding.
A few minutes later, the carriage carriages were already full on the iron frame. Without Hobert's reminder, the Beyonder operating the teleportation array activated the teleportation array.
When illusory giant doors rose from the ground, Alice and the other three were stunned, and in the blink of an eye, several carriages full of building materials disappeared from everyone's sight.
Three or four seconds later, Georgina came back to her senses: "This, is this really a teleportation array? The Navy... I mean, you have set up a teleportation array at the docks of Tussock Harbor?"
A few days ago, the navy reported that a mysterious magic circle was suspected to have appeared at the docks of Tussock Port, capable of transporting personnel and goods over long distances.
Georgina didn't take it too seriously, assuming it was a way to transport some urgent supplies through sacrifices and bestowals from the "Creator."
But today, seeing those illusory doors and that they were transporting building materials and the like, Georgina knew that they were definitely not asking the "Creator" to transport things.
That's a god, how could they possibly help transport ordinary things like building materials?
So Georgina immediately thought of the teleportation array. After her reminder, Alice and Amyrius also recalled some information they had seen before.
One came from the royal family, and the other came from a noble family, and both families had relevant records of teleportation arrays.
Amyrius sighed, "In the Fifth Epoch, teleportation arrays have actually appeared!"
Hobert smiled and said, "This is what I wanted to show you all. What do you think?"
The distinguished Alice said frankly, "It's shocking!"
Amyrius quickly asked, "How much cargo can be transported at once?"
"About three train cars, or up to six large carriage cars," Hobert explained. "It can also transport people. We can go and experience it later."
Amyrius calculated that, with a squeeze, it would be enough to transport a battalion of soldiers and equipment. If commanded properly, a brigade could be transported to the front line in an hour!
This is definitely something that can change the course of the war!
At this time, the teleportation array was activated again. The returning carriages were still carriages, but they were full of tropical fruits, as well as grain and vegetables.
This time there were only four carriage cars, and several passengers came with them. They were employees of the "Earl's Light" research department.
The "Earl's Light's" research laboratory in cooperation with the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery has already begun operating on Longtail Island. Those scientists now basically travel back and forth between the two places through the teleportation array!
The next round of cargo transportation began, and this time it was still building materials being transported to Longtail Island.
Because not only has the teleportation array between Backlund and Longtail Island been opened, but the teleportation array between Longtail Island and Jeffery City in the Southern Continent has also been opened, and they need a lot of cement and steel bars there.
Gravel and bricks can be supplied by locally built workshops.
After securing the carriage cars, Hobert and the other three also stood on the iron platform. The teleportation array was activated, and Alice and the other two saw a colorful corridor appear before their eyes.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at an unfamiliar warehouse. The porters around them changed from white-skinned to the brown-skinned natives of the Rorsted Archipelago.
They were very respectful to Hobert. Some natives even knelt down and praised him loudly in the local language.
Hobert waved to them and led Alice and the others out of the warehouse. Outside was an endless sea, and on the other side was Longtail Port with its Loen architectural style.
Alice and the other two had also seen many Beyonder abilities and felt the convenience brought by "Traveling," but this experience was different. They came to the Rorsted Archipelago with the cargo, and this cargo represented the universality of the teleportation array.
It's not like "Traveling," which requires becoming a Sequence 5 or obtaining the corresponding Sealed Artifact to use.
A Sequence 7 can manipulate it to operate continuously. The key is that it can not only transport a few people, but also transport a large amount of cargo. If it is a "Traveler," it is difficult to transport cargo, and it may take until Sequence 4 "Secrets SOrcerer" to complete this type of operation.
But letting a demigod be responsible for transporting goods all day is a huge waste, and that demigod would not be willing to do this kind of work.
Just like the telephones they talked about before, the teleportation array is something that has universality. Not only can a few people with relevant abilities use it, but ordinary people can also enjoy the convenience brought by this mysterious world.
The three of them looked at the sea with various feelings for a while. Hobert took them to a coconut grove, picked a few coconuts, returned to the Lord's mansion, and had the servants open them, drinking fresh coconut juice with straws.
They had all drunk coconut juice before, but today's drink was indeed a bit special, or rather, today's mood and atmosphere were special.
After chatting about interesting stories at sea for a while, Amyrius asked Hobert when the time was right, "Do you have any plans to sell the teleportation array?"
Hobert smiled and said, "The three of you are all good friends, and I won't keep you in suspense on this kind of matter."
He paused and then said, "The reason I invited you to visit is, of course, to find a good buyer for the teleportation array.
"However, we cannot sell it to the public for the next month or two, because we have to build the teleportation array for our own use first."
In fact, he was waiting for the opportunity to speculate and using this time to acquire gemstone mines. Only when the war starts will the demand for the teleportation array become apparent, and that will be a good time to talk about cooperation.
But whether it was Amyrius or Georgina, although they knew that the international situation was tense, they did not dare to be sure when the war would break out based on all the information they had.
Amyrius was already very satisfied with Hobert's reply, as long as this strategic thing could be sold.
Georgina was more concerned: "If other countries come to buy it…"
"Don't worry about this," Hobert smiled. "Since I am the Earl of the Loen Kingdom, I will certainly help strive for the opportunity to only sell to Loen.
"Unless you give me too low a price, making it difficult for me to explain."
Amyrius smiled and said, "The price is negotiable."
In his opinion, more money should be spent to monopolize this thing!
Georgina also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the preferential treatment given to Hobert these days had finally paid off.
When they returned to Backlund, it was already evening. After Alice and the other two left Hobert's Earl's mansion, they met again at Admiral Amyrius's residence to discuss the teleportation array.
For them, this thing must be equipped as soon as possible, and it will definitely play a huge role in future wars.
…
After Hobert sent the guests away, he began to prepare for tonight's action.
He first went to discuss it with Xio, and then gave her the glove "1-107", which can use all the abilities of a "Imperative Mage" within three minutes.
When midnight arrived, the assassination operation began.
Wearing a mask and height-increasing shoes, Xio first came to the location of the first assassination target, a Sequence 7. There was no need to use the ability of "1-107" at all. After she rushed into the opponent's hiding place, she immediately used imprisonment to prevent the target from escaping.
Then she rushed up and killed the opponent with her best close combat skills, ending the battle without even firing a gun.
Xio calmly wrapped the corpse in a quilt from the room, and carried the corpse down from the window in one leap.
But after walking a few steps, her spirituality sensed danger!
This point was in the plan of Hobert and Xio, she had been mentally prepared for a long time, she threw the corpse on the side of the street, and lifted the seal of "1-107": "Hiding in the shadows is forbidden here."
The shadows on the side of the street suddenly became three-dimensional, outlining two human figures. One was a "Shepherd" and the other was a "Rose Bishop", both envoys of the Aurora Order.
Under the previous guidance of Hobert, Xio immediately performed the second "Prohibition": "Grazing is forbidden here…"
Boom ~
The corpse not far from her suddenly exploded, blowing Xio away and interrupting her "Prohibition".
The flesh and blood of the corpse were blown everywhere,
Xio had to quickly change her tactics and shouted at the "Shepherd": "Imprisonment!"
This was imprisonment at the demigod level. The "Shepherd" had just finished grazing, and a "Blazing Spear" was piercing towards Xio, but the "Shepherd", along with the "Blazing Spear", were "Imprisoned" together!
Boom ~
More flesh and blood exploded, and Xio fell down along the shock wave, pulled out her gun and fired three shots at the "Rose Bishop".
The "Rose Bishop" felt that the pistol was a Sealed Artifact, but he didn't take it too seriously. His whole body seemed to suddenly turn into a pool of liquid and "melt" on the street, dodging the three bullets.
But what he didn't expect was that the three bullets clearly passed him, but flew back again.
Puff puff puff ~
All three bullets hit. The "Rose Bishop" snorted coldly. His Beyonder power had already made him unafraid of this kind of physical damage.
But in the next second, the "Rose Bishop" completely lost his mind. This was the Beyonder attack attached to the bullets, namely "Blather", "Corruption", and "Depravity".
The "Blathering" bullet immediately made the "Rose Bishop" mad, the "Corruption" bullet made his flesh and blood corrupt, and the bullet that strengthened the "Depraved" psychology caused the "Rose Bishop's" spirit to fall into a brief collapse.
Thus, the "Rose Bishop" completely lost control in an instant!
Xio, who was crawling on the ground, was slightly stunned as she looked at the revolver in her hand. She knew very well that although the enchanted bullets produced by her pistol were very useful, they definitely did not have the ability to "track" targets. Even if all three shots hit, it would be difficult to make a Sequence 6 lose control instantly.
This must be the assist from Hobert, who was hiding somewhere.
The "Shepherd" who had been "imprisoned" glanced at the revolver in Xio's hand in surprise. As soon as the "imprisonment" was lifted, he immediately switched to "herding" souls.
A gust of wind blew from the street, making Xio unable to open her eyes. The "Shepherd" was blown away like a falling leaf.
Hobert, who was hiding three kilometers away, did not pursue, because he had not used his full strength to manipulate the three bullets just now, making them look like the ability of a Grade 2 Sealed Artifact.
Even so, the "Shepherd" would definitely choose to escape, because Xio also had a demigod-level Sealed Artifact on her.
Then, after tonight, the Aurora Order's higher-ups would receive information that the person assassinating Aurora Order members had a demigod-level Sealed Artifact and a very powerful Grade 2 Sealed Artifact.
When they come to support the next assassination operation, there will be at least one demigod.
In order to quickly kill the opponent, there may even be two demigods coming.
When that time comes, it will be Hobert's turn to take action!
Xio got up from the ground and shot the remaining three bullets at the monster formed after the "Rose Bishop" lost control, killing the target.
Their Beyonder characteristics precipitated out at a speed visible to the naked eye. After Xio picked them up, she was a little worried about how to deal with the corpses.
The monster's corpse was easy to deal with, but the corpse of the Sequence 7 had been blown to pieces everywhere!
At this moment, the corpse and the flesh and blood on the ground "whooshed" and burned, and the burning process was accelerated. In just three seconds, they were all burned to ashes.
When Xio saw this scene, she knew that Hobert had taken action again, so she took the Beyonder characteristics and left immediately. At this time, a gust of wind blew from the street, blowing away the ashes on the ground, and ultimately no trace was left.
It's just that the gunshots just now woke up many residents around, and they secretly peeked out from the windows, but in the end, they naturally didn't see anything.
Xio quickly left in a carriage. In the carriage, she bandaged her wounds. These wounds were basically caused by the two "flesh and blood explosions" just now, and were all skin injuries.
She continued tonight's performance and killed another target according to plan.
Tonight's operation was a complete success. At about one o'clock in the morning, Xio came to Hobert's study, and the two discussed the next step of the operation.
Because Xio was now Hobert's intelligence officer, Hobert had told her all his plans last night.
Seeing Xio, who had suffered some minor injuries, Hobert first used the "Fork of Healing" to heal her wounds: "Then, the plan will proceed to the next step."
Xio felt that all her wounds were healed, and marveled at the wonderful use of extraordinary power.
Hobert took out four more sets of materials: "Start the third round, which is also the last round of investigation."
He said: "Acting must be realistic. Start the investigation next week, and it must look more cautious than before!
"Don't worry, next time they will definitely send demigod-level power. During your investigation, they are likely to find you!"
Xio nodded fearlessly: "No problem."
As she spoke, she took off the "1-107" that Hobert had given her from her hand.
But Hobert smiled and said, "Keep it with you first. In case you encounter a surprise attack from an Aurora Order Saint, you won't be completely defenseless."
Xio was slightly stunned, as if reminding Hobert: "This is a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact."
"Of course I know, but I also know that from today until we severely hit the Aurora Order, you are in a very dangerous situation. Giving you the Sealed Artifact is to ensure your safety."
Xio didn't refuse any more and put away "1-107".
After watching Xio leave, Hobert sat on the chair and began to consider another issue.
Just during the action just now, the image of "The Fool" appeared in his mind and told him that "The Moon" had paid the reward, which was a detailed record of "Beauty Goddess" Auernia.
At that time, Xio's action had already begun, so Hobert thanked Mr. Fool and did not immediately "read" those records in his mind.
Now that it was safe, he began to "browse" through them.
These records started from the Second Epoch, but there were very few related records at that time, only saying that after the "Progenitor of the Sanguine" fell, Auernia became the new leader of the Sanguine.
Immediately afterwards, this new leader led the Sanguine to serve the "Elven King".
After only "reading" a few sentences, Hobert immediately entered the "Nation of Disorder", because he had sealed many memories there. Some questions that he couldn't understand in the real world could often find relevant clues in the "Nation of Disorder".
Entering the "Nation of Disorder" and sitting on the "Iron Throne", Hobert first thought of a question: Where is the third Sequence 1 characteristic of the "Moon" pathway?
One was obtained by "Beauty Goddess" Auernia, another was sacrificed to the "Mother Tree of Desire" by the "God of Spiritual Creatures", and who did the remaining Sequence 1 characteristic fall into the hands of?
This made Hobert couldn't help but "browse" through the records provided by the Sanguine again, only saying that Auernia became the new leader of the Sanguine after Lilith fell, but did not say that Auernia was promoted after the war!
Hobert thought of a question: Could it be that Auernia was already Sequence 1 before the War of the Gods?
Previously, Hobert had always believed that this "God of Beauty" must have been promoted to Sequence 1 after the war, which was based on the consideration of gods under normal circumstances.
But the ancient gods are different. Their bodies may not necessarily have three Sequence 1 characteristics of this pathway. Perhaps Lilith only had two Sequence 1 characteristics in her body back then, and some characteristics of other pathways?
Or perhaps Lilith simply had one or two Sequence 1 characteristics of the "Mother" pathway in her body!
This can explain why the "Goddess of Harvest" Omebella harmed Lilith. Perhaps she was not at all aiming for the Sequence 1 characteristic of the "Moon" pathway in Lilith's body, but for the Sequence 1 characteristic of the "Mother" pathway in Lilith's body.
After all, before the appearance of the first "Blasphemy Slate", the concept of adjacent pathways was still very vague.
Hobert then understood another question. Then, in the War of the Gods of the "Era of Fire", Lilith's plan was not just to use her own fall to seize the opportunity to recover the Beyonder characteristics of the "Moon" pathway, so as to "wash away" the corruption.
It is also possible that Lilith used this War of the Gods to transfer the corruption in her body, and then used the uniqueness of the "Moon" pathway to maintain her consciousness. Of course, she could also use the related characteristics of the "Mother" pathway to maintain her consciousness.
This is even a way to purify the characteristics in her body!
If Lilith had the relevant characteristics of "Mother" in her body, she should have prepared a spare body for herself long ago.
Even in a bad state, she could completely survive until the Evernight Goddess returned.
By the way, she could also use the convenience of hiding in the dark to collect other Sequence 1 characteristics.
Thinking of this, Hobert nodded, once again affirming his guess, because he remembered that after stealing the fate of the "Goddess of Harvest", Lilith quickly ascended to the throne of God.
Obtaining the fate of the "Goddess of Harvest" was first to avenge, and another purpose should be to stabilize her state.
After all, the transformation from an ancient god to the Earth Mother was definitely not as simple as drinking a cup of tea. Before the Evernight Goddess returned, her state must have been very poor.
Thinking of this, Hobert's thoughts returned to the previous question: Where is the third Beyonder characteristic of "Beauty Goddess"?
